Elephants...I love how big they are. Big ears, huge feet, and best of all big round bellies. I woke up this morning and told Jared that it was Elephant appreciation Day and he immediately put his arm up by his nose (like a trunk) and made a huge elephant sound. I was excited about his enthusiasm for the day, but not about being hit by his "trunk" that early in the morning.
Surprisingly there are not a lot of elephants wandering around Rome. I was able to find these two small guys in a little store in the train station. We talked about elephants in movies that we liked and I reminisced about seeing all the elephants walking in a long line when I was able to go on a safari in Tanzania...AMAZING!
There is an elephant sanctuary in Tennessee that takes care of endangered African and Asian Elephants. It is a really great organization and if you are interested you can sponsor an elephant! Follow this link: http://www.elephants.com/index.php
Emmett would like you to know that he appreciates elephants on a daily basis...his "snuggle buddy" is a very soft elephant that is twice the size of him. :)
